Dochia Interior Design’s Yorkville Condo embraces the neighbouring city as it’s inspiration. The design uses an artistic approach to create a confident and stimulating environment at the intersection of place and time, city and individual. The walls, rich in form and depth, are clad in useful built-ins with a rhythm stimulated by the city’s architecture – a dynamic backdrop to daily activities and the flow of conversation.

The composition of Dochia Interior Design’s condo is set like a work of art: in every room there is a dominant element supported by secondary elements. The overall effect is warm and modern, built by ensuring sufficient detail and deliberate distribution of materials.

Every room exudes refined urban confidence and visual lines of sight are carefully choreographed. Its ingenious design solution, beauty, and practicality have been combined for a unique interior. The kitchen has a cinematic set up with a centre island pointed at the city. The oval table at the breakfast area by the window smooths the shapes into the light.

The rooms are built for a dynamic experience; materials transfer from one into another creating almost like an interior sculpture. Lead designer Adriana Mot utilised metal in various components of the project and all had to be carefully integrated: the fireplace next to the tv unit, the sliding barn door with the resin film, the hot rolled steel of the bookcase. The roughness of this material combined with the elegance of the execution took a lot of attention to detail and needed artisanal execution.

Dochia Interior Design’s condo thrives on materiality, texture and geometry. The concept is a visual integration between the interior of the penthouse and the city outside. The bespoke elements such as the bookcase that replicates the rhythm of city skyline, and the custom door inspired by Japanese paper and the metal of skyscrapers are key to the design.  The materials are layered for a rich depth, with a seemingly simple flow.
